The fleet
Two sizes.
Two seatbelts more
than the competition.
Some chains rent a 12-pax and call it a day. We keep a clean pair of 12 and 15-passenger vans with the same amenities, same care, picked so your group travels in one vehicle instead of three sedans chasing each other down Saddle Road.

your ohana, not your ego.
Both vans are automatic, both have rear and front A/C, both sip regular unleaded. The difference is three seats and a little more cargo.

A note from us
We don't up-sell.
We under-promise a seat,
then over-deliver the ride.
If your group is twelve, take the twelve. The fifteen is only a better pick if there's luggage-for-fifteen or a sixteenth person showing up in Kona. Both vans get to Volcanoes, Waipi'o overlook, and the Mauna Kea Visitor Center at 9,000 ft without drama.
Summit road past the visitor center is 4WD-only and off-limits for rental vans. Nobody's business model covers that climb. Everywhere else on-island, you're set.
Do I need a special license?
No. A standard US driver's license covers both vans. No CDL, no endorsement.
Can the vans handle Saddle Road?
Yes. Paved the whole way across, and our vans cross it weekly.
Is airport delivery really free?
Curbside delivery to ITO and KOA is how we run. Ask us about delivery logistics for your dates.
Van picked?
We'll meet you at the curb.
Tell us your airport and dates. We handle the rest. Most groups get a confirmed hold the same day.
